Yes, and I'm pretty sure less SSRs now as well, even though Nutaku said that they didn't change those.

However, because the other drops were restored, they now take more slots, obviously. As such, the frequency that you get the +1 stuff is indirectly lowered.

Gee, thanks Nutaku.

oh...we're alive again

So after about an entire days worth of farming, I can say that this new raid drop system isn't as bad as what others seem to have thought when the event started.

Ragnarok drops are rather good. 1 to 2 red souls, even 3 if you start your own, with more than 2 soul fairly common and a load of tickets if you MVP or contribute enough. Easily a page worth of drops. Like 8 to 10+ tickets.

Expert drops 1 to 2 blue souls if you join. Maybe 3 if you create your own? I'm not too sure about that since I mostly just joined others. Expert ticket drops however could use some buffs. I never got more than 5 drops from expert joining as help but in most cases it's just 3 or 4 drops with 3 being annoyingly frequent. Usually 1 to 3 tickets and 1 to 2 souls. This is pretty terrible for ticket farming since you're spending 2 BP for 1~3 tickets while ragnarok is 4 BP for triple or more tickets of what you get from expert, easily making up the double BP cost.

So if you're done with the event and still want to farm stuff from raid gacha, best to completely ignore joining experts. Starting your own is probably okay if you solo and want items to start a ragnarok but joining an expert is just a waste of seeds or BP if you don't need the blue souls since the ticket gain is just terrible. Of course the matter of whether or not you can consistently MVP or contribute enough plays a part in this too.

Oh, it's easily better compared to Jack o Lantern. The extra red soul drop from ragnarok isn't all that uncommon. Although funny enough, it's been more common than the extra blue soul drop from expert for me (which has been rather rare for me). Blue soul drop rate from standard was rather nice yesterday (~2/3?), but lower than 50% today. Small sample size swings, I guess.

380 tickets later, no SSRs, but 74 seeds. I'm enjoying the removal of 5k PP draws at least.

my ragnarok attempt:

So far I got 2 Swords and 1 Eidolon from the gacha, so I'm not too far from full break both Weapon and Eido.

I can say I'm quite happy with how the event is getting managed.

I'm more or less done with the event too, less than 10 more blues for the last item. Got 2 eidolons and 1 sword from the gatcha. Hoping to get at least a 3/4 extra copy of the sword but I'd rather not use any more seeds, since next event is a raid as well.
